Waterford is to receive €27.6m for the rejuvenation of its city centre and the repurposing of some long-vacant properties.

The money, announced through the Department of Housing’s Urban Regeneration and Development Fund (URDF), will go towards 22 separate projects on opposite ends of the city, in the areas of the Viking Triangle and O’Connell Street.
